A Building Energy Rating or BER is similar to the energy label on your fridge
with a scale of A-G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient and G the
least efficient.

A BER certificate will be compulsory for almost all new homes by mid 2008.
If you are buying or renting a new house or apartment now, you may already
be entitled to a BER – so ask the seller/landlord or their agent for it.
Along with the BER certificate, you will also receive an Advisory Report which
will help you to identify how you might improve the energy performance of
your home.
